Fujifilm FinePix S2950

Fujifilm FinePix S2950 digital camera : Following on from the success of the FinePix S2800HD, the Fujifilm FinePix S2950 will be available from Spring 2011. This is the latest addition to Fujifilm's S-Series long-zoom range of “bridge cameras” which are renowned for their ease-of-use and excellent tele-photo capabilities - all packaged up in a neat compact shell and with the added bonus of an all-important EVF. With a generous 18x Fujinon optical zoom lens, the Fujifilm FinePix S2950 really packs a punch, especially when matched with its 14 megapixel sensor, large 3.0” LCD screen and 720p HD (30 fps) movie capture.

The Fujifilm FinePix S2950 sports an impressive 28 mm - 504 mm high precision Fujinon optical zoom lens. Simple to operate with an electric powered zoom lever, the huge zoom range means that you can capture all the detail, even when you're at a considerable distance away. You can even operate the zoom during shooting the movie. Unlike a bulky D-SLR, bridge cameras allow you great versatility of zoom, without the hassle of carrying a bag of lenses.

Dual image stabilisation on the Fujifilm S2950
Even at the longest zoom settings or in the most challenging of lighting conditions, the Fujifilm S2950 is able to produce crisp, clean results. With its mechanically stabilised 1/2 3”, 14 megapixel CCD sensor, and high ISO sensitivity settings, Fujifilm's Dual Image Stabilisation technology combines to reduce the blurring effects of both hand-shake and subject movement to provide superb pictures.
